Unintentional Ways You Are Wasting Time - Inc.com   

When it comes to productivity, there are a lot of things that can slow you down as a business owner. There are employee issues, customer concerns, marketing issues, and a whole slew of other fires that pop up on a daily basis. But, for the majority of us, there is one productivity killer that beats all others in terms of time and resources lost, and that is escapist behavior. I have worked with thousands of business owners who use email as a place to hide from the pressures of strategic challenges or intimidating conversations. Personally, when I get stressed, I often wander the aisles of my local Staples, buying office supplies that I don't really need. Still other business owners will escape by looking for a simple problem at work to solve. And others turn to television or social media as a distraction.

The best entrepreneurs intentionally choose escapist behaviors that at worst cause no harm, and at best actually serve them and their companies. So the first step is to discover where you currently like to go when you are feeling overwhelmed, and then figure out how you can change those behaviors. 

Whether you're watching it on a 70-inch television or a seven-inch tablet, TV still holds its spot as a time addiction that robs business owners of hours each week. Time that could be invested in reading a book, enjoying your family, or even getting a better night's sleep. I have even seen a business owner or two install a television in their office to watch while they work, which would understandably make a huge impact on their ability to deal with complex problems and strategies. If you must use a screen, replace this behavior by watching educational videos or listening to a podcast from a leader in your industry.
